I've been determined to buy an SUV in the last couple of days since my SC400 died and it has come down to this...My Budget is $6000
1) 1996 Toyota Landcruiser AWD 4.6l inline six..140,000miles in decent shape runs good and has been maintained..A few dings and a few scratces....Color White, and loaded $6000
2) 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport XLT, 4x4 110,000 miles, Super clean, loaded, tan in color, leather the works...Runs great and has been serviced.. $6000
3) 2002 Nissan Exterra 2x4, 115,000miles, nice in and out..Owned by a mechanic and it appears the car has been maintained properky. Color Green (yuck) It needs nothing...$5500
4) 1998 Toyota 4 runner - 6 banger, dings, one dent, cloth interior and runs good, 2x4, 130,000miles, color Tan...$5000...
I was about pull the trigger on the Montero, but Lex has brought it to my attention those trucks are lemons... Now I am thinking about the landcruiser but the fuel economy is a big deterant but it is probably the most reliable and comfortable ride out of the group.....
What would you guys get for the money?...Looking for a daily driver, an SUV truck to carry crap in and go on road trips, decent gas mileage, and a nice looking ride to pick up chicks in (yeah right)...Anyway, any input would be appreciated...
